Sevastopol Police

The Directorate of the Ministry for Internal Affairs in Sevastopol City (Russian: Управление МВД России по городу Севастополю) or the Police of Sevastopol City (Russian: Полиция Севастополя, romanized: tr, lit.

The Directorate's main responsibilities are internal security, human rights and freedoms, the suppression and detection of crime, and protection of public order.

Shortly after the October Revolution in 1917, it was decided to create the Protection Commissariat in order to solve problems of control and law enforcement.

After the Declaration of Independence of Ukraine on 24 August 1991, the Ukrainian Militsiya began a new stage as the police force of a sovereign state.

The Sevastopol Militsiya was importantly affected by the subsequent restructuring of the Ukrainian police by legislation enacted in 1992.
